Whether you’re hosting brunch or preparing a big family breakfast, sometimes the slow cooker is the smart way to fix weekend breakfast. Why?

If you don’t have a slow cooker, or prefer baking your brunch, it’s still perfectly possible to cook up a morning meal that’s just as easy and delicious as the recipes above. Many of Betty’s egg casserole recipe bake up in about an hour and many can be prepped in advance. From an egg and bacon bake to a brown sugar crumble cake, there are savory and sweet recipes alike.
